Okay, so I have a shiny new site with which to write my thoughts on F1 and I’m not sure where to start, so I guess I’ll start with some thoughts on the upcoming season (just over 4 days to go before the first wheel rolls in Albert Park).
Like everyone else I haven’t been this excited about a new season of F1 for as long as I can remember. I think that previous to this year I had been most excited was for the 2006 season, that was also the first season where I really started to pay attention to things during the off-season. That’s when I started read as much as I could — my first introduction to Autosport too, as my copy of F1 Racing would usually be read within days of it arriving.

Hello site!
Posted by Dave in Outer monologue on March 23rd, 2009
I have been thinking about writing articles on F1 on my personal site for quite a while, as I have found myself getting more and more interested by the sport (as of writing it is currently less 4 days, 1 hour and around 10 minutes before the start of the 2009 season and I can’t wait!) and getting more involved on F1 sites, with comments etc. I have also started to notice that in quite a lot of places that I would like to write more than short comments (I don’t like to read essays in comments, so I try not to leave them too) but also I feel that I have more to add with original articles of my own.
So I’m going to give it a whirl, it might be rubbish - but lets hope not.
So why aren’t these just posts under an F1 category on my personal site? Well that site is quite technically-orientated (I’m a computer programmer/web developer/design by trade) and I wanted to keep any posts on F1 separate - so people who didn’t care about F1 (or programming) didn’t have to filter posts on a subject they didn’t care about. So I decided to create a separate site for these posts, and here it is, I set it up quite quickly and haven’t added some of the things I want to yet - and only tweaked a theme slightly, so excuse the dust for now.
If you want to know more about me and the other things I do, then please drop by my personal site.
